Cool Internet Finds Big Huge Labs is a cool website to use to create different objects or looks with your pictures. In my opinion, one of the coolest tools on big hugh labs, is the Palette Generator. You upload the picture that you have chosen to the website, and use the generator. It tells you the colors that are in your photo.

I have seen through many different websites, that the Warholizer tool has become very popular. So you don’t know how, or don’t want to take the time to actually create one. This website has it.

The website has many many more different tools that you can use to create effects to your pictures.

Cool Internet Finds Feeling slightly unacknowledged with a personal D.I.Y. operation? Instructables.com is the place to go. It has an multitudinous variety of “how to” videos and photos. It has vivid instructions on anything ranging from agriculture to geeky tech. I don’t know about you, but I think an instructable for a catapult that shoots thumb tacks at unsuspecting victims is pretty impressive…

Cool Internet Finds I would have to say one of my favorite sites to visit when I am bored, is the Urban Dictionary. You can look up any word and see what other people think it means. Urban Dictionary is 100% user maintained. There has been 3,956,135 definitions written since the creation of the site in 1999. Urban dictionary is the slang dictionary that we wrote.

Cool Internet Finds So I was doing the final exam and looking for HTML color codes that would be kinda useful. I happend to stumble upon http://colorschemedesigner.com/ it is very cool you can pick diffrent types or color schemes from a mono color scheme to a anologic whatever that means and it gives you all the hex codes for those specific colors. It saves alot of time playing with code to try and figure out diffrent colors that go well withthe prime color. you can also adjust the contrast of all the colors to make them a darker tone or make them lighter for a cheery website. you can also preview what your site would look like with that scheme with their pre-made viewing template.Also Melito they can also make the schemes for color blind people so you see the true colors instead of orange being maroon.
So yall keep it real,

Cool Internet Finds IMDB stands for Internet Movie Database, and is a great website for someone who is looking for information on movies. Members can rate movies from 1-10 and the results are shown on the page of that movie. All the information you need to know about a movie is on this site, including awards its won, the cast, filming location, and trivia about the movie.

Cool Internet Finds CSS or (cascading style sheets). the Styles define how to display HTML elements and Multiple style definitions will cascade into one style sheet. In my time in class i found that you can simply go to google and search free css and you will get a list of options. The website i used was http://www.freecsstemplates.org/. it was very usefull and you can pick a layout of any website you want and you can edit it to how ever you like.

Cool Internet Finds Ever wanted to get a picture from the Internet, but you school blocked it? Or they blocked the whole darn site? Well my school blocks the image link for Google, and that is where most people find their images! So, instead of Goolge.com; I use Google.ca. That is just Canada’s version of Google [which is practically the same thing]. There are others you can use too. Like, for example, everyone my freshman and sophomore year used to use: Goolge.uk; but my school caught on to that one and blocked it recently. So when proxy codes just aren’t working anymore, just know there is always a way around

Cool Internet Finds Thanks to my good friend Nate, he introduced me to this awesome game, “Hop to the Top,” on Free Online Games.com. The game is addicting because there is no end, the object of the game is to move the ball from each platform to the next, while overcoming obstacles. The high score is currently held by Nate Pullen with a total of 101 points. Closely behind, is Trent Shelton with 99 points, and last but not least, Whitney Nieland with 97 points. Try it out!
